Event Description:

Esurance ICER AIR is an action sports, music and lifestyle event.  It holds the distinction of being the first and only stadium big air ski and snowboard competition to be held in the United States.

Among the many new features of the Esurance ICER AIR 2007 event is the introduction of a second venue, the Village.  The Village will be replete with multi-sport exhibitions and competitions, a BMX and skate park, a concert stage and beer garden.

Format:

Men’s Big Air Ski and Snowboard Competition

14 professional skiers and 14 professional snowboarders will compete through two rounds.  They will complete two jumps in the first round, and based on the better of their two jumps, the top seven skiers and snowboarders will advance to the second and final round.  In the final round, athletes will each have three jumps, with the best score taking the top prize.  Skiers and snowboarders will alternate jumps, and jump order will be drawn randomly. 

Skate/BMX Park Competition Amateur and Pro Rounds

Riders will be put into heats of 10 riders per heat. Each heat will have an exclusive practice session prior to starting. Riders will be given two 60 second runs. Best run scores count. Top 10 riders will advance to the finals. Finals will consist of two 60 second runs, same as qualifying.

Freestyle Motocross Sessions

A complete ramp to ramp freestyle motocross display of backflips, supermans, and lazyboys will be performed by top X Games and Dew Tour athletes.
